I just fixed my 2000 V6 10K miles after the dealer replaced the belt and not the tensioner, I don't believe that the tensioner went from " nuttin wrong wid dat bit when I done the job " to completely f*^$#$d in 10K miles. I had both heads rebuilt by a local machine shop at $250 each. Total cost was around $1500 doing the work myself. That did not include the special tools ($300) needed to time the engine when I installed the new belt and tensioner (I'll put them on ebay next week and perhaps get $200 for them)
Good luck, I almost got rid of my car but when I thought about car payments again, I figured fixing the car was less that 6 months of payments...didn't seem so bad after that.
